Change starts with self-awareness, so before the program officially kicks off, all Stressed to Best participants take a very comprehensive and scientifically backed test that measures where you sit across 48 different motivations.

In Getting Clear on What You Want we:

• debrief on the results of that motivation assessment, and what this tells us about how you are showing up in the parenting relationship; and

• take the time to translate any goals that you may have for your family into specific behavioural outcomes that you can measure at the start and end of the program.

Often parenting feels hard because we are just so tired or so busy.

In Optimise Your Energy you will learn:

• what is causing you to feel too busy or too tired for your child;

• how to recognise what’s happening in your mind, and how to transcend all of the chatter so that you can be truly intentional in each moment; and

• a specific strategy to help you respond, rather than react, to the needs that your child is expressing.

You will find yourself yelling less, and enjoying the precious moments rather than wishing you were somewhere else.

Everything you believe about yourself, parenting and ‘how life works’ causes you to show up in the way that you do.

In Resetting Your Beliefs you will learn:

• what healthy beliefs around your leadership as a parent look like;

• what beliefs are helping you, and what beliefs are draining your energy and hindering the way that you want to parent; and

• a process for challenging beliefs that no longer serve you, so that you are no longer weighed down by them.

Are you and your partner the parenting dream team, or is there some work to be done?

In Syncing Together you will learn:

• how to make explicit the responsibilities of parenting, so that they can be more effectively shared; and

• how to share responsibilities in a way that is healthy and energising for everyone.

The best visions are the ones that are shared by all who they involve!

In Creating a Family Game Plan you will :

• identify what truly matters to your family; and

• create a joint statement of family values, so you can use that as a shared decision making tool to make daily decision-making easier.

In Communicate So They Can Hear You, you will learn:

• the Considered Communication Strategy© that works in the toughest of situations;

• how to communicate to build your child’s solid sense of self; and

• what love language each member of the family has.

In Raising Your Unique Child we will do a deep dive on your child’s unique motivations, and work through strategies for most effectively engaging them as an individual, including discovering their unique learning styles.

When you truly understand who your child is, and adapt your approach to that, you will build their right to be who they are in the world.

Recognising your wins is a skill that many of us haven’t mastered yet, but it is essential to embedding sustainable change.

In Celebration we will reflect back over the past 8 weeks of life in your family, review your goals from the start of the program, and celebrate how far you have come.

Dina, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for imparting your wisdom on me and for making my life a happier space. I am so grateful that our paths have crossed and I am so happy to have finally found some practical and sensible solutions to my parenting / life issues. As I mentioned in our first meeting, I have been searching for a long, long time for tangible solutions to the issues I faced daily and your program has achieved that & more.

JM, Entrepreneur, first time parent

I recently had coaching with Dina Cooper. I let go of unconscious baggage, which was interfering with my ability to be fully present with my children, especially my daughter.

Since the coaching my daughter has been coming in for cuddles in bed sometimes now, and even asking for tummy tickles and more physical affection! Huge, huge change. And she and I have also had wonderful hours of quality time together.

Dina has incredible skills as a parenting coach. If you feel like you would like to be more of your best self with your children, reach out to her, I cannot recommend her work highly enough.

Kylie Ryan, Entrepreneur, kids aged 3 & 5

Before working with Dina I felt overwhelmed and over-scheduled. I had big personal goals that I wanted to achieve and had become really hard on myself for not being there yet. I wanted to enjoy more quality time with my family, move towards my goals and experience more spontaneity and fun. Following my coaching program, I feel confident, strong and the mum I want to be. I’m working towards my dreams and ambitions. I’m able to lead myself in times of stress and have a stronger bond and connection with my family as a result.

Kelly Brown, Entrepreneur

Dina is an amazing coach! I have experienced her coaching program and found it beneficial for myself and my family. I highly recommend Dina. She is warm, fun and one of the most caring humans I have the privilege of knowing. ‍

Sue Anderson, Director, Unshakeable Leaders

As a single parent, I now have better flexibility to go to the gym, take my daughter to swimming as well as drop her off at school every morning. We now relate better and take afternoon walks together. She has her own personality and I do my best to encourage her with curiosity, whilst cheering to build her confidence. I am still continually investing in myself - learning, growing and acquiring new skills personally and professionally.

Tabitha Motau, Architecture Lead, Accenture

Dina is really insightful, brought up topics and ideas that made me stop and think. She blends well everyday experiences with psychology theory that gives a good balance and is helping me approach my thinking differently in parenting and other areas of my life.

Anna, Marketing Director, kids ages 8, 5 and 1
